The word “work” has been replaced by “party”. The companies I ran I hired a lot of folks in their 50’s, they appreciated having a job and understood that effort was required. The #1 indicator of success is their track record(not school, grades or references). I miss Cain, he would have been a great President.

they appreciated having a job and understood that effort was required.

Here's the issue: the up/coming generation ("Y"/Millenials) are going to demand that the standard for effort-required changes.

And they're going to have that demand met. Here's why - it all comes down to numbers.

There are approximately 80 million Baby Boomers. There are approximately 40 million GenXers. There are approximately 80 million Millenials (showing why they are often also called the "Boomer Echo").

There aren't enough Xers to make up for the losses that are going to be seen in the workforce as Boomers retire or die (more likely the latter, thanks to Obama). That leaves the Millenials in an incredibly powerful position to exert leverage over the work environment. They WILL change it, simply because they will be so desperately needed and there won't be anyone standing in their way. And from what I'm already seeing, the change won't be good.

Why did he quit again? Was it because he might have been unfaithful to the wife he is still married to?
